And now, Crawford is grateful that he gets to learn from Andre Ward, an individual with an unparalleled understanding of the sport.

Yesterday, we saw Andre Ward in the ring with Terence Crawford. The former unified Light-Heavyweight champion instructed ‘Bud’ on the range and movements Crawford needs to master for a power puncher like Israil Madrimov. And “Today was a very special day” for Crawford as the Olympic gold medalist, Ward sparred the former. “Today I get some rounds with the GOAT,” Crawford told the camera before they began.

After the session, Crawford posted photos with Ward on his Instagram. “Today my bro @andresogward gave me some rounds today. This right here is memories for a lifetime. Appreciate you my brotha,” he wrote.

On the other hand, Keyshawn Davis was synonymous with Caleb Plant and said, “Legendary.” Meanwhile, appreciating the post, former two-division world champion, Zab Judah reacted with three cold-face emojis.
